Cigna Group (NYSE:CI) has demonstrated steady performance, with investors reporting a 75% return in the past five years and a strong third quarter in 2024. Recent actions show a mix of different significant institutional investors buying and trimming their holdings in the company, including Banco Santander S.A., Meeder Asset Management Inc., and Mizuho Securities USA LLC. Notably, several firms, including Massachusetts Financial Services Co. and PNC Financial Services, increased their investments, while others such as Charles Schwab Investment Management and MAI Capital Management, lessened their stakes.
Despite occasional negative sentiment and concerns regarding mixed financial metrics, Cigna remains highly regarded. They've affirmed capital priorities, announced a $6B stock buyback, and prompted recommendations from commentators such as Jim Cramer and Goldman Sachs. Cigna forecasts 10% EPS growth for 2025 along with projected strong revenue growth in the Q3 2024 earnings call.
Moreover, Cigna's diversified services and strategic growth drivers have helped maintain financial stability. Interesting initiatives such as launching a health equity impact fund and granting funds to address the youth mental health crisis through their foundation are also noteworthy. However, a proposed merger with Humana was dismissed, causing a dip in Humana's share price.
